    I think that's that. No idea what happened. Pretty disappointed.

    Only so much wandering and searching and pming one guy can do.

    In my view the main reason these last few have been a bust is people commenting that they'll be there and then adding the "But maybe not". Instills a bit of doubt that ultimately puts a lot more people from going. I know things crop up and can blind sight ye. A simple yes and making a good effort to be there wouldn't go unnoticed. I know that might seem a bit ironic given I backed out too but that was off the reaction 3 people canceled so close. Some of us travel a good bit, book places to stay etc. and don't really want to be ferrying the Titanic into the lonely corner of a pub when it's after a hard week at work ^^

    Equally there could be no need for them? Doesn't seem to be much demand for them as of late. They did help me originally and if someone feels that they're missing out on this PM me and always welcome to come along with my mates for pints when it suits.

    And good God the George was packed that night -_-'

    I did genuinely intend on going but couldnt in the end.

    I think there is a huge need for them but people are nervous about them.

    Bonnie - I'm really sorry this was such a mess.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Hey guys,

    Long time 'boardsie' but haven't really followed the LGBT forum. I love this idea of meetups. Sorry to hear your recent one was such a bust, but would love to be included on a future one. :)

    That's terrible to hear. Hope you're doing better.

    ---

    Lads, to be honest. All is grand about it. In the end I went to a birthday party I had been going to after the meetup so it was no biggie. Just a pain wandering around like a fool for an hour was not cool.

    There's definitely a need for them to be honest as it does help in the "outing" of oneself to be with a group of fellow LGBT's.

    Hopefully there's another during the summer.

    Hi,

    I've been too nervous to attend these in the past but if there is another meet up I will go if I can.

    Been trying to bury my sexuality for years but I'm coming around to accepting it and plan on coming out soon.

    I'm nearly 30 so its about time I started meeting other men.

    Well I'm after getting a few lovely messages about interest in the meetups and to be honest would be a shame to see them go as they are a right laugh and a help. Would be healthy for like minded individuals to meet for a chatter.

    So maybe call me stupid but should we try for a May one then before the ref? All I ask is if you're willing to suggest ideas and dates please for the love of Panti stick to them.

    I don't know duberland very well, and I certainly don't know the gay scene up there so I'd be beyond hopeless (like a straight man in a sea of lesbians!) with suggesting, but I will do my darndest to be in attendance when a date and venue is decided upon :)

    That sounds like a smashing idea btw! So should we start a new thread...don't want to be spamming the place but this seems like as good a date as any and a new thread might clear out all this.

    Yep

    Start a new thread

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me?
